"... Red and black do not they marry ..." ( J.Brel ) I think the green and gray, either...

Mirror shot in my Air B&B April 2023. There were two mirrors opposite each other on either side of the roof dormer in our room, so you are actually seeing in the reverse direction of the lens . It made for an interesting angle to show the street view and my lens reflection simultaneously so I couldn't resist giving it an opportunity. Uniquely there is only one window in the area but the mirrors give the impression of two, both with their individual views. I was quite pleased with the peculiar results. I tried so hard to show more of the street lamp but it was not to be while maintaining the straight lines , squared window frame and the reflection on the lens. This was our second afternoon in Lisbon on our trip through Portugal having departed Porto. I was trying to share something unusual I had seen in my peripheral vision on this occasion and this was as close as I could accomplish. When I tried moving the camera higher in the tight position I lost all the magic. I realized there is no defined focal point within the image and the subject is entirely the illusion itself. So confusing for the eye that the lens appears to be aiming away from it's image captured.
*Yellow is the most visible color of the spectrum.
*The human eye processes yellow first. This explains why it is used for cautionary signs and emergency rescue vehicles.
*Peripheral vision is 2.5 times higher for yellow than for red.
Peripherally flitting by,
I caught a glimpse of something bright,
a shimmer like the stars at night,
a dancing, daring damselfly.
She swooped above me in an arc,
and came to rest right on my shoulder;
what a vision, to behold her
eyes so large and dark.
She was there to speak in whisper-
She lingered with me sping and summer,
while I tried hard to become her
friend; she left. And now I miss her.

"...Ne me quitte pas
Je ne vais plus pleurer
Je ne vais plus parler
Je me cacherai là
À te regarder danser et sourire et
À t'écouter chanter et puis rire
Laisse-moi devenir
L'ombre de ton ombre
L'ombre de ta main
L'ombre de ton chien
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas...."

Tragopogon dubius (yellow salsify, western salsify, western goat's-beard, wild oysterplant, yellow goat's beard, goat's beard, goatsbeard, common salsify, salsify), Asteraceae family.
It is a species of salsify native to southern and central Europe and western Asia and found as far north and west as northern France.
Like most salsifies, the western salsify grows as an annual or occasionally biennial forb, reaching a height of typically 20–60 cm but sometimes almost a metre. It grows typically in warm, sheltered spots with moist soil. Its yellow flower head is 4–6 cm in diameter and is likely to be seen in late spring or early summer. Buds are blue-green, tall, and tapered. The inflorescence opens early in the morning and often closes up by late afternoon.
🌞Later the plant forms a seed head that resembles that of the dandelions but is distinctly larger.
The seeds themselves (known as achenes) are 2–4 cm long but featherweight, weighing about 8 mg each on average. There is some natural variation between the central and peripheral achenes in the seedhead, with the peripheral ones being generally darker and heavier, and having a higher concentration of phenolic compounds; this may enhance their survival potential.
There is actually a disproportional representation of this image but that is a tale for another day or you could visit Deviant Art where they host a host of other entirely different images and versions of images that I have created that you may or may not have seen.
